Kudos to the author for being honest about the flaw in this metric:

> It’s ridiculously easy to cheat this metric. Even if you correctly categorize your muda—it’s very tempting to let edge cases slide—all you have to do is stop fixing bugs, defer some needed upgrades, ignore a security vulnerability... and poof! Happy numbers. At a horrible cost.

> Actually, that’s the root of my org’s current capacity problems. They weren’t cheating a metric, but they were under pressure to deliver as much as possible. So they deferred a bunch of maintenance and took some questionable engineering shortcuts. Now they’re paying the price.

> Unfortunately, you can get away with cheating this metric for a long time. Years, really. It’s not like you cut quality one month and then the truth comes out the next month. This is a metric that only works when people are scrupulously honest, including with themselves.

I've had the same experience with well-meaning productivity metrics collection: Even the execs who were really trying to do the right thing would accidentally invent a new metric that looked fantastic for a couple years, then later collapsed when everything else caught up. By then it might be someone else's job to clean up the mess.

Like the author said, this difficulty in this problem is that it can go on for years. If you have an executive team that actually knows how to balance the metrics with the things that are harder to tracked, it might not be a problem. However, as soon as you get an executive looking to game the system for a couple years before jumping to another job, it becomes a doomed venture.
arguing that "you should be able to get the whole experience regardless of your location" is basically arguing against the entire category of location-based entertainment products. The experience is related to your location. That is literally the product.

>There's a gap between accepting that the mind is ultimately made up of neurons firing and what it feels like to be a mind made up of neurons firing.

This is exactly my objection. I fully believe were mechanical machines, fully believe in determinism, I think human behavior /thoughts will fully be explained mechanically etc but I cannot find any way to deny consciousness or qualia and reduce them to physical properties (lest we augment our definition of physical to include consciousness as a fundamental property. I also contest the notion that doing so would be "mysticism" or any less scientific than having added "mystical" properties like force/energy and randomness into the standard model of physics). It seems the motivation for this has far more to do with desperately trying to cram everything into materialism than following sense.

Until one can give any kind of plausible explanation as to how feeling/qualia can become an emergent property of matter, it is a complete mystery. My thoughts are it is impossible as they are completely orthogonal and complimentary properties. Qualia is the experience of going through the physical process. Pain is the experience of having this mysterious thing called force acted upon pain receptors hooked up to a working neural system. The physical description can explain exactly what happens, but yet it leaves us with an experience that has no physical description. How can that be?

Lastly, there will always be unanswered questions or presumptions in science (how did the universe emerge? what makes up energy?), so while the attempt to do is formidable, the presupposition that consciousness must be explained by science is nonsensical.

Dennet's eliminative materialism isn't some well accepted philosophical position. In fact, its one the most rejected.

> Isn't the mid/late game of all of these alternative clouds going to be the same as the big cloud players...get customer lock in and then prices slowly creep up until its kind of a wash?

That might be the plan, but I doubt it's going to work for GPUs like it did for AWS.

There's no moat here, other than the hardware. There's no value-add that the provider can add for free and lock you in.
That doesn't seem to be the case for long-tail VPS providers.

It doesn't seem to really be the case for the big cloud providers, either, as most of what they offer is fairly commoditized -- I've been using GCP for years to host Kubernetes clusters, Postgres databases, Redis instances, standard Linux VMs, etc., and while there'd be a cost associated with migrating out of GCP, I don't feel locked into it in any way, as the tools I'm using there are the same tools I'd be using regardless of where they were hosted.

The market for IaaS and for SaaS are very different from each other, and the walled-garden approach doesn't seem to have significant traction in the IaaS world, thankfully.
I’d love to read an account of the ‘fall’ of Braun. Through my adult life, basically the only thing it makes that are still ubiquitous are electric shavers - which are great shavers, but hardly icons of design.

Was there internal drama that led to this contraction in the diversity of what they made? Did it happen fast or slow? I feel like there must be a good story in there.

Hasn't that always been the way with Pokemon though? With the original Pokemon Red and Blue in North American release on Gameboy, you couldn't get all the Pokemon independently. You needed someone the opposite color cartridge to trade with. Same problem except then you needed to be face to face friends with someone and at least one of you needed to own the link cable.
The return policy is one of the reasons we bought our new all-in-one washer/dryer combo there. If this whole new-fangled "all-in-one" thing isn't all that, back it goes.

(Turns out it is all that: runs on 120VAC, doesn't need a vent for the dryer; awesome. Downside: you have a single pipeline, so if you're washing then you can't be drying at the same time. Oh, and get the GE instead of LG: filters are easier to get to, among other advantages.)

When I was growing up, one particular political party continuously made hay from the idea of "big government" overreach, and how regulations should be removed and watered down, almost no matter what. Any regulation was seen as a bad thing.

This never made sense to me, as ANY large organization has the potential exercise excessive power. "Competition" is somehow supposed to magically address this, but that doesn't really make any sense either, as if something gives a competitive advantage, then there's no real choice in the matter, as all companies will be pushed in that direction.

It's almost like balancing rights between different people and organizations is actually hard, and there's no single cute slogan that covers every scenario.

Anyway, it seems like concern about privacy is finally coming to everyone's attention.
This disables useful features like "call 911 if a collision occurs". If given a choice between safety and privacy, a lot of people will choose safety. We shouldn't have to make the trade off.
No offense, but your whole post made not one lick of sense.

Starting with your first assertion that "It's a quality of every story that any one of its parts could be embellished to the fullness of the whole tale."

No. Not at all. Stories aren't crystals or pure fractals.

But after that refutable statement, nothing else even made enough sense to argue with. You may as well have been speaking a foreign patois.
If someone would publish such a guide for each make/model/year of car, that would be a HUGE public service. Even if it's not pulling fuses or removing cables/parts, just something like "set these settings to these values to disable sharing".

I recently built a cli called "standup" which given a git sha, will pass the diffs + commit messages to an LLM and produce a standup message.

I still edit it a little but it saves time and means I never forget about stuff unless ofc it's not tracked by git.

Players use fake GPS apps to pretend they are in a location to catch rare pokemon.

I saw my brother's phone "travel" from London to Seoul in South Korea in front of my eyes and catch some rare pokemon there.

Pokemon Go bans them when detected, but not all get caught.

They don't even bother simulating a proper travel. They just teleport which I find hilarious.
Apologies if I sounded disrespectful, I’m just fascinated that people can conceptualize the world in this way.
I don't think that's what I was driving at. Monolith users in this scenario would be knowingly using copyrighted content with the clear intent to "de-copyright" it for distribution purposes by mixing it up into a new output via a reversible process. Which seems like it probably violates copyright because the intent is to distribute a copyrighted work even if the process makes programmatic detection difficult during distribution. This may operate within the wording of the law but it clearly is being done in bad faith to the spirit of the law (and this seems like standard file encryption of a copyrighted work where you are also publicly distributing the decryption key... and transmitting a copyrighted work over TLS today doesn't absolve anyone of liability). You seem to be suggesting this is what OpenAI has done via the transformer model training process - and acting in bad faith. Which is certainly possible but won't be proven unless their court case reveals it. I'm asking about the opposite: what if they acted in good faith?

What I'm getting at is that it's plausible that a LLM is trained purely on things that were available and licensed as Creative Commons but that the data within contains copyrighted content because someone who contributed to it lied about their ownership rights to provide that content under a Creative Commons license, i.e. StackOverflow user UnicornWitness24 is the perpetrator of the copyright violation by copying a NYT article into a reply to bypass a paywall for other users and has now poisoned a dataset. And I'm asking: What is the civil liability for copyright violations if the defendant was the one who was actually defrauded or deceived and was acting in good faith and within the bounds of the law at the time?

Modernize E-File (MeF)

Last paragraph of Contracting Opportunity...

MeF has been in production since 2004. It is a mature e-filing business process that has been vetted with the IRS trading partners, state agencies, and e-filing software developers (e.g., Intuit, H&R Block). MeF processes tens of millions of small Returns (e.g., 1040) as well as millions of large Returns (e.g., 1120, 1065) each year.
A small but extremely useful shell script which can be run with the 'f' command. It fuzzy finds over a subset of directories and pulls the path I want. I can then pick from a series of small workflows with a single keystroke such as jumping to the directory and running a 'ls', opening the file, opening the file in a text editor, opening the file in Mac finder, searching for text within the file or directory, etc. It has mostly replaced most terminal navigation and has been extremely useful.
Not every vendor needs Amazon’s eye watering margins to justify their existence. Plenty of people more than happy to make their 12% and call it a day.

You can say that it’s their mistake, but people not using your software successfully is always a mix of blame for both parties.

Yes, you can probably make more by adding more pressure than nagware did. But you’re doing it at the expense of being pro-user. I do think it’s reasonable to be less friendly than that, if it doesn’t work for you.

You can probably make even more than free trials by getting people into a monthly subscription, making it harder to cancel, and/or making it so it’s easier to forget that they’re being charged, etc. There are many ways to enrich yourself at the expense of others. And many companies seem to have justified each of these to themselves.

Gigabytes of storage costs pennies, so manufacturers can (and probably already do) just save the logs locally and download everything when it comes to the dealership for service. The data is slightly less valuable because it's not available in real-time, but they get the data regardless.

This is how Tesla currently handles diagnostic logs if a vehicle's network access is shut off. Based on their history so far, I expect the other automakers will be worse on data privacy, not better.

That's because DOS (well, the IBM PC really) had a memory-mapped text mode display buffer instead of terminal emulation.

So much easier to fill a screen rapidly and do partial updates, scrolling, moving windows etc. when you can just do pointer arithmetic and memcpy.

Not without some distinctive advantage to the provider's infrastructure beyond raw GPU access. Plus, as more options exist, more SDKs will facilitate switching or distributing workloads to multiple providers as de facto connection standards emerge (like what's happened to S3-compatible storage, as a simple example.)
clock_gettime_nsec_np() seems interesting in that it returns a u64.

I proposed something similar for Linux circa 2012. The patch got lost in some other unrelated discussion and I didn't pursue it.

struct timeval is a holdover from the 32 bit era. When everyone is using 64 bit machines, we should be able to get this data by reading one u64 from a shared page.
Besides taxes, there is another sense in which outside circumstances can break your "rent control" model of home ownership with 30 year mortgage. Here in Oklahoma, insurance rates have skyrocketed in the last couple years. I now pay more in homeowner's insurance monthly than either my principle or interest payment (though perhaps not both together - yet). And I have a 4.something% mortgage.

I suspect it has or will soon reach the point where the Kelly criterion says mathematically I'd be better off to self-insure - if I didn't have a bank loan.

It's not just insurance (which is likely also weather-related); after a fluke super-cold Winter we had, our natural gas companies incurred a huge wholesale market bill which they've passed on to customers. I have a family member who owns his house free and clear whose gas bill went up so much he could no longer afford to heat his house. The gas company still tried / is trying to assess a one-time very large retroactive fixed fee even though he turned off his gas.

My point, I guess, being even homeowners are not totally insulated from being screwed over by outside market forces.

I wrote a serverless browser app called Gojira that assists in organizing and opening Jira tickets quickly and easily, and it even keeps a history of what I opened. I use it every day.

This article misses the point. People don't want the tech companies to provide the consequences for breaking the law, they want tech companies to do a better job preventing the law from being broken in the first place. And if society deems these tech companies are intentionally allowing people to break the law as a means to spur growth overall, many people feel there should be consequences for the tech companies.

We have been having the same argument about this for basically the entire history of the internet. It is really no different whether the specific case is about someone using AI to get their boss fired or uploading a copyrighted movie to YouTube. The tech companies should have at least a little responsibility in preventing the abuse of their system. The question is just where to draw that line.
